From the field to full recovery! 💪⚾

After shoulder surgery, Isaiah, a dedicated PHS Panthers Baseball player, put in the work at our Portland clinic and tackled physical therapy with the same grit he brings to the game. Today, he’s not just stronger, he’s officially graduated from PT and ready for what’s next.

His commitment, discipline, and positive attitude made all the difference in his recovery. It’s been incredible to watch him put in the work day in and day out, proving that setbacks can turn into comebacks.

We’re proud to be part of his journey back to the sport he loves. The future is bright, keep swinging!

𝗔 𝗪𝗔𝗟𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗠𝗜𝗥𝗔𝗖𝗟𝗘 🤍

In August 2025, Mr. Ricky experienced a traumatic brain injury that changed everything.

At his first visit, he couldn’t walk.
He had minimal use of his left arm.
He needed help dressing and feeding himself.

But he showed up… and he put in the work at our Alamo clinic!

Today, Mr. Ricky is:
✔️ Walking independently
✔️ Using his arm again
✔️ Dressing and feeding himself
✔️ Riding his side-by-side
✔️ Playing with his grandbabies

This is why we do what we do. Moments like this remind us that progress is possible, healing is powerful, and every small step matters.

Mr. Ricky, thank you for choosing STAR and trusting us with your care. It has been a true blessing to be part of your journey. Your determination inspires us all!
